The next time you go shopping, pay attention. You’ll hear the squeal factor at work. What is the squeal factor? It’s that sound you make that only makes sense to you when you see something that creates a good feeling. You’ve heard it, you’ve done it. If you saw something wonderful and you said “mmm” “Oooh” “Ahhh” or “oooo” and any variation of the aforementioned, then your squeal factor was at work.
Funny thing is, this seems to really only affect women. Wait, that’s not true, even little girls have a squeal factor. Listen the next time you’re out and passing the toy section, you’ll hear that sound that will eventually grow to include not only toys but shoes, purses & killer clothing. I rate my squeal factor on a scale of 1 to infinity! I have been known to make sales people come running…even when I’m alone, because they just KNOW they’re about to make a sale. There is nothing inconspicuous about that sound and everyone around you knows what it means even though technically, you never really utter a word. If you see a group of young girls shopping together, you can hear it all through the mall, it’s annoying and like any other super power, it must be controlled. As we grow older, we tend to tone it down but occasionally we’ll see something we just love and then it’s a full throttle squeal factor 5 and you too will have sales people coming out of the woodwork. After you buy whatever that item was that sent the “squeal factor” beam into the air like Gotham City summoning Batman, share your pics so the rest of us can “ooo” and “aaahh”.
